It’s fine.
Someone will have a cure.

Only to be shocked at … Read the rest

Earth you have grown
so much
Like a baby in its mother’s eyes
You have…

You went through life, death
Deconstruction a bit a
Reconstruction
We cut down your trees
Then plant them like weeds
In places where there … Read the rest

Ashen fields
Their purpose yet to be revealed
Like blood congealed
Lies are spoken
Apologies now forsaken
Empty words for the empty field
Lies revealed
Fights on streets for the right of life

Is this Earth?
A planet once so young
So full
So safe
Where animals could live and flourish

Why are you here?
Why are you making our people fear?

My world is in pieces
Pieces that are not easy to pick up
Little pieces that can easily get lost
Little pieces that are hard to find

It’s our world
One world

I’m looking for a government.
One whose climate policy
Is more than climate hypocrisy.
One who stays true
To what they say they will do
Instead of moving so fast
To more oil and gas.

I’m looking for a government… Read the rest

I am sorry for the future generations
I am sorry that you didn’t get to see a tree
Because we were blinded
by greed for a booming economy
I am sorry that there is not enough air

They are the everyday people who prolong the fight
Textbooks do not mention those who make the stage on which the revolutionary stands
She is never granted a footnote

Imagine
that you are living the moment
in which everything starts to change
and you stand watching

When our children won’t know what it’s like to be cold?

Since I’ve only lived for these days years and hours… Read the rest
